Welcoming all fur babies :)
Pet care experience
I have grown up with animals ever since I was a child. I grew up in a family with chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats as pets. I also have an animal care training background as part of my training for my graduate science degree. I receive requests for taking care of both dogs and cats of all different ages and needs. Please message me if you are looking for something specific. Depending on my projects at work, I either work from home or partly take meetings for a few hours outside of the house. If your pet were to come over, I will make time to stay home and take care of them, please message me ahead of time so we can coordinate. My apartment is very safe, in a high rise. I have been petsitting for years now and nothing bad has ever happened to any of them.
Reviews
My dog had a great time while staying 4 days with Anni. She gave him tons of attention, and I appreciated photos and videos she shared.
Wonderful sitter who took very good care of my cat. Kept me updated with pictures and made sure to ask questions about his routine. She was also very helpful with getting my cat back in his carrier (which he hates) so I can tell she is experienced. Overall would absolutely recommend if you are in the area if you want a safe and comfortable spot for your pet to be taken care of by someone who can give them the attention they need.
Katie did a great job caring for my 16 year old kitty. This was a first for my cat and I was nervous. Katie was glad to meet us before and she was mature, calm and responsible. She sent lots of pictures and videos with updates. My kitty really liked Katie, warming up to her quickly. I felt very comfortable that she was doing a great job caring for him. Thank you Katie.
Katie was absolutely awesome! She cared for my grumpy old man diabetic cat like he was her own. I was so thankful for all of her great updates and photos, it really put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. She had great communication, knowledge about pets, and is super genuine and caring. I would 100% recommend her to care for your pet(s).

Safety, trust & environment
I usually only take in one family’s pets at a time. Feel free to ask for special accommodations if necessary. For cats I generally take in one family at a time as well.
Home
Information Katie "Anni" W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time which vet they usually go to in case of emergencies. Otherwise then let me know what their general routine is and if they have any special diets or medical considerations.
A typical day
I mostly adapt to the pet’s schedule and behavior. Cats are generally low maintenance so I let them do their thing. For dogs, I would usually take them out 3/4 times a day and maybe go on a long walk or something if they need the exercise. This totally depends on each pet though so just let me know ahead of time what to expect.
